This moderate hike will start at the Rockville Road trailhead and traverse through sugar maple and red oak woods that open onto the organic blueberry barrens of Coastal Mountains Land Trust’s Beech Hill Preserve. The preserve habitat has hosted over 100 species of birds and possibly the largest concentration of Eastern Towhees in Maine. Meet at the Rockville Road Parking Lot.
